The autobattler’s been getting chimeric since Vampire Survivors released and plunged global productivity down the toilet. VS was a chaotic slot machine: you didn’t so much craft a build as you did keep pulling the lever and hope you could assemble something vaguely effective from what it spits out, which kept me occupied for weeks….

You know the deal, it’s Yeston, so prepare for something… special, and possibly a little outrageous. The company that brought us the genuinely very inspired ‘Cute Pet’ graphics card design (see the third image in the gallery further down) has certainly gone for ‘outrageous’ this time with its advertisement for an upcoming RX 9070 XT…

I’m a little staggered that I hadn’t heard of Shape of Dreams before—while it has updated and promoted its demo for Next Fest, it’s actually had a “prologue” available for a while, which has essentially been a sort of open alpha test for its devs. Click on that link, and you’ll find that while its…

Ella Purnell has doubled up with videogame TV series in the last few years, starring in both Arcane as Jinx and Amazon’s Fallout show as Lucy MacLean. Obviously the main commonality between the two is that they both take inspiration from popular videogames—League of Legends and Fallout, but another smaller link is that Purnell has…

The Nvidia RTX 50-series hasn’t really stolen our hearts so far at PC Gamer thanks largely to low stock-induced scalping and high prices. For my part, I’ve been keeping hopes tentatively raised for a cheaper AMD RX 9070 or 9070 XT, under the assumption that an RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti are well beyond the…

In a heartwarming (ish) exposition of solidarity with democratic expression, China tabled concerns earlier today that the Taiwanese government could be preparing to give away its chip industry as a “souvenir” to the USA and that Taiwanese citizens were thus concerned that chip foundry TSMC could become “United States Semiconductor Manufacturing Co”. According to Reuters,…
